Cobra Spotlight- Britian Tomlinson, Men's Cross Country

Sep 29, 2013

The "Cobra Spotlight" is a weekly highlight of a student-athlete
at Coker College. Each week we take a different athlete from a
different sport and display some facets to get more familiar with
them. This week we take a look at Britian Tomlinson, a member of
the men's cross country team.

Why did you choose Coker? It was a small
school, and I liked the way the classes were set up.

What is your best memory at Coker (athletic
related)? Playing in Disney World after one of our
races.

What is your best memory at Coker (non-athletic
related)? Every Bandfest with Anthony Abrahams, James
Sweeney, David Pent, Tyler Senecal and Caleb Dunlop.

Which athletic team would you play on at Coker other
than your own? This is hard because I am easily the most
athletic person on campus, but if I had to say just one sport it
would be soccer.

anything

Do you have a nickname? If so, how did you get
it? It is Stack Robinson because one year Anthony decided
